Rusty Schlenk of Weston, Ohio, led early in the main event with Miller pressuring the leader before going past and pulling away.

Miller’s biggest scare came in a close call while lapping Curtis Deisenroth, but he took the checkers comfortably ahead of Brian Ruhlman of Clarklake, Mich. Mike Spatola of Manhattan, Ill., was third followed by Jon Henry of Ada, Ohio, and Schlenk.

Miller’s victory was his second of the season at Oakshade and his first on the ALMS circuit since the previous Memorial Day weekend.

Miller, who went into semi-retirement after splitting with car owner Stephen McCullough last summer, connected with DeLong this spring. ... DeLong normally drives the car himself but took a break with an ailing back. ... The Sunoco ALMS weekend continues Sunday at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, for the Johnny Appleseed Classic, a race Miller won last year. ... It’s the first Late Model event of the season at the Big E, which hosts the $100,000-to-win Dream two weeks later.
